Combating dye pollution using cocoa pod husks: a sustainable approach

The adsorptive potential of activated carbon prepared by chemical activation of Cocoa pod husk (CPHAA) to remove Congo red (CR) dye from its aqueous solution was investigated in this study. CPHAA was characterised using Energy Dispersive X-Ray, Scanning Electron Micrograph and Fourier Transform Infr...
